Save the Date! 2006 Masonry Showcase

Words: Colin ClampettAfter a very successful show in Chicago, with our new partner the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) at Construct AmericaTM, we are very excited to return to Las Vegas for our 2006 show. We saw a 45% increase in mason contractor attendance in Chicago, and, coupled with our new partnership, we are looking to exceed that even further with solid education programs and over 70,000 sq ft of exhibits to view. The draw of Las Vegas as a #1 convention destination will prove that Masonry Showcase and Construct America? will be a must attend event for 2006. It will also be the only show with the sole focus of supporting the masonry industry in Las Vegas.

Programming is under way and exhibit sales are off to a brisk start. Make sure to visit www.masonryshowcase.com for further information on schedules of events, hotel information and important education programs being held at the 2006 Masonry Showcase at Construct AmericaTM.

We look forward to seeing you all next March 28-31, 2006 in Vegas at the only show supporting the advancement of the masonry industry!
